I have a very nice early Victor XI table model that needs 3 of it's feet...would gladly purchase or I have 3 Edison B-80 feet (see pics) that I would trade if you want...thank you. I sometimes miss messages here but I prefer calls anyway...phone is 319-290-7153 Craig
P.S. it's a very nice original finish with a few marks on top...I'm debating on whether to just polish it or use some mahogany Howard's Restore a Finish...looking for everyone's opinions...thank you.
Finally...if you click on the pics you don't have to stand on your head :)

Hi Craig-- Re: Using Howard's.. I like Howards, but I seldom use anything other than the Neutral shade.. Your machine is really nice and has great color.. I wouldn't want to add additional color to it-- The old, original mahogany was a brown shade-- Howard's will add some red to it-- Personally I'd stay away from it. But wiping the case with a soft cloth, with a small amount of the Neutral will give you just a bit of sheen and will help hide those small scratches-- If you want some color in the scratches, Minwax makes stain pens in many shades-- they look like a magic marker-- You can do minor touch-ups of the scratches without affecting the finish on the whole machine.

Thanks Brad...I've decided to use Howard's Feed & Wax and if that doesn't get it I'll try the neutral!
